BMT Scientific Marine Services (BMT), a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, has been selected by Saipem to supply the riser integrity monitoring systems for the Total Egina development located 150km off the coast of Nigeria.
Riser integrity monitoring systems measure bending moments and tensile forces in risers in order to provide end users with an understanding of the risers’ condition.
Data from these systems are then used to verify riser design models, ultimately leading to long-term improvements in riser design.
The Egina project will feature systems that incorporate BMT’s ROV-Serviceable Subsea Strain Sensor Assembly. This allows for continuous monitoring and data collection, preserving the absolute bending and tension measurement while a single sensor is removed and replaced.
BMT provides innovative Integrated Marine Monitoring Systems (IMMS) for a wide range of floating offshore oil facilities including the associated subsea risers and mooring systems.
